ambitious May

I finished cleaning the craft area of the spare bedroom. Since I haven't had guests in that room for a while, it had... devolved. In fact, it was a two-Saturday job to clean it. But now it's done! And I can do projects! Like sewing ( Read more... )

links, sewing

Oh, this looks like fun! *watches*

"This is straightforward geometry."

Hee! I knew there was math involved! But I was always pretty good at geometry, actually. I love the animations. I never could understand something flat but when they animate the pattern, I get it. Such a visual learner!

I loved it! I think I'm addicted and have to watch more. And I know nothing about sewing!

Eeee, it is so fun to watch! I'm glad others are enjoying it.

I've found a commercial-free episode two here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5trYhyBMuI

I'm already watching. Even considering taking a sewing class but it looks hard!

Can you make a dress from scratch, Rose?

ETA: Aww, it's sad when someone has to go home. :-(

A sewing class would be a great idea, as would asking someone you know with experience who doesn't actually mind taking the time to show you.

Is sewing hard? It can be. Getting the basics down is very important, obviously. Hm. Maybe I'll cull through my sewing links to see if I can find a few good starter posts ( ... )

This was so much fun, now I have to hunt down the other episodes.

Yay, I'm glad you liked it! Here's episode two without commercials:

I have now watched the entire season and am going to bed much too late. However, it was fun and I never actually got truly irritated at the judges (which I normally do).

Me too! It was quite addictive and I actually got misty at the end.

Rose, do keep us posted on your sewing works! Now I need a sewing fix!

Nothing to do with crafts as I am the least crafty person alive, but I want to wave a pompom in your direction for wading into the shipping stuff on tumblr. I really want to make a note to the effect that the number one reason I ship John/Zoe now more than I did before is because of a couple of Careese shippers who are irritating THE CRAP out of me. oy

rose_griffes April 30 2013, 22:37:58 UTC

Yeah... I actually blocked a Carter/Reese shipper on Tumblr once. I just couldn't take it anymore.

Thanks!
